Hi friends! I hope you all are enjoying the fantastic fall weather we have been having here in New England! We have been busy with family events and the kids' activities, and I am busy getting the word out about this community. Thank you for your support so far to help make it a success! I'd like to take some time to answer some of the common questions I have been getting about what we will be doing.

SO WHAT EXACTLY IS HARTFORD HOUSEWIVES?Hartford Housewives is a branch of a group of like-minded bloggers in many cities across the US, started by Andrea at NOVA Housewives. Our goal is to connect women in our local areas by hosting monthly Girl's Night Out events, inform you about local happenings, and basically help grow your network of friends.​

DO YOU HAVE TO BE A 'HOUSEWIFE' TO ATTEND?Absolutely not, it's just a name. We want to connect women of all professions, ages, and backgrounds. At our events you'll meet business owners, bloggers, stay-at-home parents, entrepreneurs and more.

​​DOES IT COST ANYTHING TO ATTEND EVENTS?Our events are FREE to attend! We will have vendors at all events and you are welcome to shop at any and all of their tables. {If you are interested in becoming a vendor yourself, please reach out to me via e-mail.}​

WHERE WILL THE EVENTS BE HELD?Our events will be in restaurants or bars throughout the Hartford area. Our Launch event was held in South Windsor where I am located and we will be holding our next events in areas convenient to other parts of Hartford: West Hartford, Windsor, Wethersfield, etc.

MORE QUESTIONS?​I'm happy to answer any questions you might have, just give me a shout on Facebook or e-mail me. I hope you'll join me as we grow here in Hartford, because I've got big plans for us and it's going to be awesome!

Hello and thank you for finding your way here! My name is Jill and I am beyond excited to be bringing the Housewives in the City Girls Night Out and Meet-ups to Hartford. I'd love to start off by sharing a bit about myself. I was born and raised in a suburb just outside of Boston, MA. I went to college in upstate New York where I met my (now) husband of 8 years. Following college, I moved to Connecticut where my husband is from, and we have been here ever since! We have two amazing little girls who make our lives crazy and fun. I am a glass-half-full kinda girl and there's never a dull moment in my life. You can usually find me hosting parties and play dates, driving my girls around from one activity to another and enjoying time with my family.

I love meeting new people here and connecting with old friends as much as possible. When I saw the opportunity to bring the Housewives in the City to Hartford, I knew this area would be perfect for so many women of different backgrounds to connect and forge new friendships. I meet women every day who mention how challenging it can be to make new friends and find time to hang out with old friends. Let's fix that! My goal is to create a wonderful network of women who love to have fun at our events!

Whether you are a fellow stay-at-home or work-at-home mom, a PTO parent or school teacher, a small business owner or a CEO for a large corporation... I'd love to meet you! So, please stick around as I explore all things Connecticut and I hope to see you at our first ﻿Girls Night Out﻿ in September!
